SECURITY / 03

Identity & Access

Identity management, authentication, authorization, MFA, privileged access, account lifecycle, and access governance.

Identity and access work is about knowing, precisely, who can reach what — and making sure that list shrinks the moment it should. We handle authentication, MFA rollout, privileged access controls, and the account lifecycle governance that keeps access matched to who's actually still on the team.

Why it pays for itself

Who this is for

Signs you need this.

  • Former employees may still have access to systems months after leaving.
  • MFA is optional, inconsistent, or only turned on for a few accounts.
  • Privileged accounts aren't tracked any differently from everyone else's.
How we approach it

Our process.

01 / 04

Assess

We map your actual exposure across identity & access instead of assuming it's covered.

02 / 04

Harden

We close the gaps we find, prioritized by real risk rather than what's easiest.

03 / 04

Monitor

Ongoing visibility so issues get caught while they're still small.

04 / 04

Respond

When something happens, you have a team that already knows your environment — not a stranger reading a runbook.

How it actually happens

How we work on this.

  • Audit current accounts, access levels, and authentication methods.
  • Roll out MFA and SSO across the systems that need it.
  • Set up privileged access controls separate from standard account policy.
  • Tie deprovisioning to offboarding so access doesn't depend on someone remembering.
  • Review access on a recurring schedule, not just once at setup.
Field-tested advice

Practical tips.

  • Turn on MFA everywhere it's supported, not just for your most sensitive systems — attackers look for the one account it wasn't enabled on.
  • Review privileged accounts separately, and more often, than standard ones — an admin credential is worth more to an attacker than a regular login.
  • Automate deprovisioning tied to HR offboarding — access that depends on someone remembering to revoke it eventually gets missed.
What usually goes wrong

Common mistakes.

  • Leaving MFA optional or inconsistently enforced instead of applying it everywhere it's supported.
  • Letting access outlive employment — former employees with active accounts is a common and avoidable gap.
  • Treating privileged accounts the same as standard ones instead of reviewing them separately and more often.
FAQ

Common questions.

Will this slow down our team?

Good security is close to invisible day-to-day. We design controls around how your team actually works, not the other way around.

We haven't had an incident — do we still need this?

Most companies that get breached also hadn't had one yet. The goal is finding the gap before it becomes a headline.

Do you work with our existing tools?

Where possible, yes — we build on what you already have before recommending anything new.

How fast can you start?

An initial assessment can often begin within the first couple of weeks of an initial conversation. If something looks urgent once we look, we'll say so immediately instead of waiting for a formal report.
